Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova saattaa olla se paras lasten aloituspiste kavereiden kanssa pelaamiselle

Gamescomin humussa Gamereactor pääsi tutustumaan peliin Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova, joka julkaistaan 14. lokakuuta suurin piirtein kaikille mahdollisille alustoille. Haastatteluun pääsi julkaisupäällikkö Loz Doyle, jonka mukaan kehittäjä Tessera Studiosin peli vetoaa 7-11 vuotiaisiin lapsiin, jotka haluavat tutustua kavereiden kanssa pelaamisen iloihin.

Noin kuukauden kuluttua lähdetään sitten avaruuteen, taas kerran. Ja sehän sopii meille. Katso koko haastattelu alta täällä Gamereactorissa.

"Yeah, I would probably say it's maybe for 7 to 11 [year-old children]. It's got a sort of mix of adventure, exploration, collection, combat and puzzle-solving, but it's very like evenly spread, so you're not constantly fighting, it does give you a chance to go: 'oh, okay, let's explore this area, let's see what I can find here'. It gives you the chance to complete some of the puzzles and I think the way that puzzles are introduced in this game is really nicely done by Tessera, the developer. Like, you start off [with] very simple puzzles but as you get towards the end of the game, the complexity really builds, but it gives you a chance to learn as you go along. So yeah, it's really appealing I think to all ages".

"We have so much interest here because it's a Star Trek game. There's a lot of people here that funnily enough like Star Trek. And the developer was so keen to make a really authentic experience. We were really close to Paramount, we had a really good writer on the team and we worked with script editor from the show, just to make sure it was exactly right, we've used all the voice cast from the TV show, and that adds so much to the depth of the game and the authenticity of it. There's a lot of little nods to other series and characters that you recognize, that Star Trek fans would recognize that probably kids wouldn't.

Finally, in terms of lasting appeal, the man from OG concludes that "let's say... if you get through the story it's probably 8 to 10 hours, but when you get to the end of the level, it shows you what you've missed and what you didn't find on that planet, and there's a lot of hidden areas, there's a lot of things to discover, and there's a few... when you collect new characters, you will have to go back and find those things and complete the game".
